Description EDIT
Changed the preview file into the tutorial file, since people kept asking if I deleted my tutorial (which I didn't, you could get it by hitting the "Download" button on the right).

So to stop the confusion, here is the tutorial without the preview.


How to draw male eyes that is!

Since there are many differences between to male eye and the female eye, I chose to create a tutorial about the male eye only. I will do the female eye someday as well.

I'm sorry if the image is small and blurry, but I don't want people to steal this. I will publish a book sometime and I will use this tutorial as well (which is a lot bigger and clearer), so yeah... sorry once again!

If anyone still have questions, please ask!

fumblies [2009-07-26 15:31:45 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the very detailed tutorial! However i have few questions...
Is it better to use mechanical pencil for this? If so, which kind did u use in this particular tutorial?
Also, i always have problem making very fine highlights, how did u do that?

Meh, it doesnt really help. I looks more like you did it to show off your skillz. I would call it a step-by-step shading tutorial.

I'm so excited I found this! I've always sketched eyes... loved how they looked and turned out but I never really totally finished them. Now that I see a great example I'm going to follow through. I always got to about the 8th example that you have here.

I've definitely found this helpful, thanks for going to the trouble of making it. When I get stuck on a portrait it really helps to just see different (and usually better) ways of tackling a problem.

Zippity In reply to ??? [2009-06-16 23:52:59 +0000 UTC]

I can never make the eyes right when there is two of them. The always end up lopsided, even if I use a ruler and measure everything out.
